For over 30 years, Baker’s Kingdom has been dedicated to connecting nature’s essence with the art of baking. Among its finest local-sourcing initiatives stands the Turpan Raisin Series, a tribute to the unique terroir of Xinjiang — where grapes are born under the sun, nurtured by the wind, and perfected by time.
The secret of Turpan Raisins lies in their environment — a combination of sunlight, dryness, and diurnal temperature swings that create exceptional sweetness and texture.
☀️ 16 Hours of Daily Sunshine: Drives sugar accumulation and enhances color.
️ Annual Rainfall Only 16mm: Keeps grapes healthy and rich in dry matter.
️ Day-Night Temperature Difference of 15°C: Boosts aroma and natural drying.
Each raisin from Turpan embodies the essence of the desert oasis — sweet, concentrated, and full of vitality.
For three decades, Baker’s Kingdom has partnered with growers to ensure every batch of raisins meets the highest standards of purity, flavor, and consistency.
The brand’s Local Ingredient Series brings together the best of Chinese terroir — Turpan Raisins, Jing Shan Matcha, Dandong Chestnuts, and Yunnan Walnut Kernels — connecting authenticity and craftsmanship in every bakery.
Baker’s Kingdom classifies its raisins not just by color but by texture, sweetness, and baking suitability.
| Type | Color & Texture | Moisture | Flavor Notes | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White Seedless Raisin | Thin-skinned, plump | 15–16% | Balanced sweetness | Artisan bread, toast, scones |
| Golden Raisin | Twice sun-dried, amber-gold | 14–15% | Soft, mellow, non-sticky | Panettone, rolls, muffins |
| Green Raisin | Naturally dried, emerald green | 14–15% | Pure, honeyed, light | Cookies, energy bars |
| Dark Raisin (Raisin Bloom) | Natural sugar bloom | 15–16% | Fruity aroma, clean sweetness | Direct eating, soft doughs |
Pro Tip: The white sugar bloom on natural raisins is a sign of purity — crystallized natural sugar, not mold or oil.
Raisins bring both sweetness and structure to baked goods, but handling matters.
Soak in warm liquid (water, juice, or rum) for 10–20 minutes.
Drain well to keep dough hydration stable.
Add during the final kneading stage to protect gluten.
Lightly coat with flour for even distribution.
Fold raisins into dough or brush surface with butter to prevent scorching.
Reduce oven temperature by 5–10°C for high-sugar recipes.
Cinnamon Rolls
Whole-Wheat Bread
Panettone
Energy Oat Bars
Each raisin type creates a different sensory layer — from golden warmth to emerald freshness.
When sourcing premium raisins for baking or wholesale, focus on:
Appearance: Uniform color, no stems or seeds.
Moisture Content: Ideal 14–16% for baking.
Processing: Prefer oil-free and unwashed for natural flavor.
Storage: Cool (10–15°C), dry, sealed, and away from sunlight.
Baker’s Kingdom ensures traceable supply chains, connecting terroir to the final loaf.
